SEATTLE, Wash. – (February 2, 2016) – Blimey, it’s back! Reuben’s Brews’ popular Blimey That’s Bitter! Triple IPA is returning for its annual release, February 6, 2016 at noon
at a release party at the Reuben’s Brews Taproom in Ballard. This
much-anticipated beer won Best Imperial IPA in the Pacific Northwest at
the 2014 US Beer Tasting Championships.

Originally
created for the inaugural Washington Hop Mob event back in 2014, Blimey
is packed with Simcoe, Amarillo and Citra hops. It promises an intense
citrus, pine and tropical aroma followed by a smooth, medium-full mouth
feel. This brew has become a favorite for IPA drinkers – and it’s a big
one. Blimey comes in at 10.5 percent ABV and 80 IBUs. Being the hop
heads Reuben’s are, they wanted to increase the nose over prior years so
they doubled the third, and last, dry hop over prior years. This brew
now comes in at almost 7lbs of hops per barrel!

Blimey
will be available on tap and in bottles. There will be a limited number
of Blimey t-shirts also available, unique randals and other versions of
the brewery’s hoppiest brew.

During
the Blimey release, Reuben’s Brews will also have a small amount of
Gobsmacked bottles available. The brewery first brewed Gobsmacked in
March 2015 for Brouwer's Cafe's 10th anniversary. This hefty brew exudes
peach notes in the nose, with cane sugar sweetness in
support. Tangerine comes through in the mid-palette, with grapefruit in
the finish. A smooth, soft and juicy body provides balance in the
finish. Gobsmacked clocks in at 10.0% ABV and 80 IBUs. And finally, on February 6 there should be some Imperial IPA and Hat-trick Triple IPA on tap to complete the hoppy line-up!
